Hi im Building a new Pc,I'd just like some suggestion on what cpu cooler i should get,i plan on getting a Q6700 Quad Core [ 2.66 ghz ]My mother board will be a XFX 680i LTand my case is a ULTRA X-Blaster Mid towerULTRA X-Blaster

So I'd Like a Nice Cooler that will work efficiently while gaming, small enough to fit in my pc, but can be large, and maybe some nice LEDs, and a good price rang of 30$ to 50$ or more depending on how good i see it as.

TigerDirect seems to not have much of a selection as i see, so a purchase from Newegg would be great and they'r cheaper :]

Ok.. looking at the casing picture, it has intake exhaust for processor cooling purpose.. While this may be beneficial for stock cooler, it actually deny the space needed for tower-style cooling.. Much of the current third-party processor heat-sink fan (HSF) have tower-style design.. So, you may need to remove the intake exhaust first before you can proceed with third-party HSF.. I personally recommend you Artic Cooling 7 Pro for its performance per price.. But if you want something nicer, perhaps you might want to have a look at Thermaltake Max Orb.. Reviews below:

While I used to suggest the Artic cooling as well, there is a new champion on the market.http://www.newegg.co...N82E16835233003http://www.frostytec...?...2233&page=5This heatsink uses a new technology called H.D.T. that allows it to achieve unparalleled performance. This cooler is nearly the best CPU air cooler on the market. Noctua is coming out with another impressive one, but I have difficulties in finding anyone stocking their products at reasonable prices in the USA. This is primarily due to them being manufactured in Austria.Please note, you'll need to pick up some aftermarket thermal compound if you select this heatsink.James
